164. Chapter 162 Five years, it's time
The breeze swept the withered yellow leaves, blowing gently from the courtyard of Fengzhu Palace, nothing, except for the sound of the leaves "clacking", Dye Frost took a broom to take care of the fallen leaves in the courtyard, Qin Yuan stood aside and stared blankly, motionless thinking: "It's been five years, why hasn't anyone been here?" ”
The fastest and slowest in the world, the longest and shortest, the most mundane and the most precious, the most neglected and the most regrettable is time.
It's been five years, Qin Yuan is now twenty-three years old, compared to before, her appearance has not changed, she is still so delicate, her figure is still as thin as ever, but there are a few more mature and introverted in it.
In the past five years, the harem has been replaced by a batch of people who have been favored ////, the queen is now very weak, and she is wheezing every day /// bed /// couch, I am afraid that it is not far from the end of this life, Yi Guifei is still sitting high in the position of the concubine, taking over the queen's assistant six palaces, Concubine Wan is still unruly, no one in her eyes, and I don't know how many lives have been killed in her hands, and now if anyone mentions Qin Yuan in front of the emperor, they will be beaten into the cold palace by Qing Cang in anger, So now in the palace, in addition to the old people, they also know that there is a Hui Guifei living in Fengzhu Palace, and the newcomers don't know the existence of Qin Yuan at all, Qin Yuan is as if she has never been here, and is gradually forgotten.
Qin Yuan was a little gloomy for a while, and her lips slowly opened lightly, "Dye the frost, rest for a while, the autumn wind is strong, the leaves are non-stop, and you are afraid that you will not be able to sweep such a large courtyard alone." Dye Shuang stopped the broom in his hand for a while, and said softly, "It's okay, the slave is not tired, Niangniang, the autumn wind is strong, you better go in and rest." ”
Qin Yuan wanted to say something, but she still didn't speak, and silently turned around and went up the steps to go back to bed, she felt that it was a little boring to stay in this palace every day, let alone dye the frost?
When Qin Yuan took the dormitory to sit down, the furniture and facilities of the dormitory were not renovated compared to the past, but they were no longer as bright as in the past, no longer so magnificent, and Qin Yuan was the only one in the spacious dormitory, so it was naturally a little less popular.
Qin Yuan wanted to quench her thirst with tea, but she just picked up the teapot and put it down, the tea was already cold, not that Zhang Dehai and Dye Shuang were not attentive, but that only Zhang Dehai and Dye Shuang were serving in this Fengzhu Palace, but I was afraid that it was also powerless.
At this time, I only heard that the door of the dormitory was slowly opened, Qin Yuan heard the voice, and saw Yi Guifei coming, Qin Yuan smiled softly, and called softly, "Sister." Yi Guifei smiled at the same time, beckoning her subordinates not to come in, walked in alone and sat down opposite Qin Yuan, and said with a smile, "I haven't been here for a few days, how is my sister doing?" ”
Qin Yuan smiled slightly, "It's just that today is a repetition of yesterday, what's so good." Concubine Yi's eyes showed a bit of subtlety, and she said slowly, "Didn't I bring you a few new horses last time?" Why don't you make a few new clothes, I remember that you sent you this one last year. ”
"My sister stays in the palace every day and doesn't see outsiders, it's okay to have a dress, who can show me if she wears fancy clothes?"
Concubine Yi's eyes instantly raised slightly, her eyes showed a bit of profundity, and she said silently, "Sister, it's been five years, it's time." Qin Yuan's lips were slightly furrowed, and she said softly, "My sister stays in this Fengzhu Palace every day, although her life is poor and cold, she lives comfortably and steadily. ”
Concubine Yi's eyebrows instantly hooked slightly, and she said a little anxiously, "Sister, when do you have to wait?" At present, the queen's body is not as good as day by day, if the fragrance and jade are damaged one day, I am afraid that it will be too late. ”
Qin Yuan suddenly paused slightly, her lips were closed tightly and she didn't say a word, she was still a little hesitant, it was not that there was no opportunity in the past five years, but when she thought of Qing Cang's cold appearance before parting, Qin Yuan's heart hurt as if she had been pricked by a needle, and now Qing Cang has a new /// pet /// concubine by her side, maybe he has already forgotten her.
Qin Yuan sighed irritably, simply stopped thinking about it, and said slowly, "Five years have passed, and it's not too late for a while, let's wait and talk." ”
Concubine Yi was suddenly extremely dissatisfied, showing a little anxious, "Sister, I know that you can't get over the emperor's hurdle in your heart, but you can't solve any problems by escaping, Mu Xuan is now five years old, the emperor just issued an order yesterday, and let Mu Xuan enter the study on the fifth day of the next month, do you think the emperor has forgotten you all these years?" The reason why the emperor values Mu Xuan so much is because Mu Xuan is your child, you are now twenty-three years old, and you still have a few years left, do you have to wait until you are old and yellow before you plan to act? ”
Concubine Yi's heartfelt words seemed a little excited, Qin Yuan's moist eyes turned slightly, the hesitation did not dissipate, and she said softly and slowly, "If the emperor still has me in his heart, how can he //// spoil /// fortunate to be a concubine of Xiang for a few years." ”
"If you see the Hunan concubine, you will know why the emperor is /// favored /// fortunate to her, the emperor has been favored / fortunate to have many concubines over the years, but there has always been you in my heart, otherwise how can I not hear others mention you, sister, you have always been smart, these truths do not need to be said by sister, you naturally understand, you just dare not face it."
Qin Yuan slowly breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had vented all the depression at the moment, she was still not confident that Qing Cang would forgive her, the world was made of love and hate, so Qin Yuan had never resented Qing Cang, she hoped that everything would go naturally, but now it seems that it is not easy, Concubine Yi also mentioned her, Mu Xuan is about to enter the study, if she is not angry, what will she use to assist Mu Xuan in the future? She is such a child in her life!
Qin Yuan's face was a little sharper at this time, and although her tone was soft, she was firm, "Okay, my sister will think about it." At this time, the dye frost slowly walked in, stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, Concubine Lian Niangniang asks to see." Qin Yuan nodded slowly, "Let her in." The dye frost retreated.
Concubine Yi got up slowly and said, "Concubine Lian must have come to look for you for something, so my sister will go first." Qin Yuan smiled slowly at Concubine Yi, "Sister go slowly." Yi Guifei bowed her head slightly and stepped out of the dormitory.
After a while, Concubine Lian slowly walked in and saluted to Qin Yuan, "Concubine Hui Guifei Niangniang greets." Qin Yuan said lightly, "Don't be polite, get up and take a seat." ”
Concubine Lian instantly got up and sat down, and Qin Yuan spoke again, "I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you lately?" Concubine Lian smiled slowly and said politely, "Thanks to the blessing of the mother, everything is fine with the concubine." Qin Yuan smiled slowly disapplausively, and said softly, "Princess Yingyue Wanying is okay?" ”
Concubine Lian smiled and nodded, "Well, Wanying is growing up, she is very well-behaved and sensible, and she is worried about her mother." ”
"Since you gave birth to the eighth princess Wanying and sealed the concubine, you have become a little more skilled than before."
"The concubines can have today, but they are all mothers, you have taught them well."
Qin Yuan smiled deeply, dusted off the floating ash on her skirt, and said leisurely, "Say, something happened again." Concubine Lian was suddenly slightly stunned, and then showed a few points of difficulty, and said slowly, "Since the emperor annihilated Dongli, although the court has been peaceful on the surface in recent years, but it is faintly turbulent, the emperor in order to eliminate the expansion of dissident forces, took a fancy to the Zhongshu Ling Li, the second sister-in-law of the Zhongshu Ling is now seven years old, and the emperor pre-set a baby kiss with him, so as to win over the Zhongshu Order, somehow, the emperor chose Wanying, Niangniang, Wanying is only four years old now. ”
Qin Yuan's face did not change, and her deep smile deepened a little, "This book has made Master Li in this palace heard my father mention it before, he is extremely smart, and his social and persuasion skills are extraordinary, but in just seven or eight years, he has been promoted from the sixth grade to the third grade, I am afraid that the future will be immeasurable, and it is also a good thing for Wanying to marry in the past." ”
After speaking, Concubine Lian's face was full of anxiety, and she said with a little panic, "Wanying is still young, ranked eighth among the princesses, why can't it be Wanying's turn, Niangniang, Wanying is only four years old now, how can the concubine accept this kind of thing." ”
"The male should get married, the female should get married, these are all things sooner or later, Wan Ying is also a dignified princess no matter how she says, and Lord Li will naturally not treat her badly."
"But Lord Li's second sister-in-law is only seven years old, and the man is only allowed to marry at the seventeenth party, and there is still ten years to go, who can predict what will happen after these ten years, Niangniang, the concubine really can't agree to this marriage, you must help the concubine, otherwise how can the concubine live."
Qin Yuan bowed slightly after hearing this, but the essence was secretly thinking, but there was no difference on her face, she suddenly raised her eyes, her eyes were bent into the moon, and she said softly, "Since this is the case, then you can only let the emperor know that Wanying is not a suitable candidate." After hearing this, Concubine Lian showed a little sneer, "Niangniang, how do you say this?" ”
Qin Yuan raised the corners of her lips slightly, and said with a little smugness, "The difficulty in this matter is that the emperor opened his mouth and made a will, so even if you think of a way, once you make a mistake, it will be a capital crime of resisting the will and not obeying the will, so the only way to let the emperor open his mouth and accept the will again." ”
Concubine Lian was even more puzzled at the moment, "Niangniang, what should the concubine do?" ”
"Go and check the birthday of Lord Li's second sister-in-law, find a feng shui gentleman and say that it doesn't agree with Wanying, aren't you used to seeing An Concubine? can take this opportunity to let his sixth princess Wanyang marry. ”
Concubine Lian bowed slightly, swept away the doubts in her heart, and smiled, faintly revealing a sense of pride, "The concubine knows what to do." Qin Yuan squinted at Concubine Lian, and slowly said, "Be cautious, find some reliable people to do it." ”
Concubine Lianqing raised her eyebrows, the spring water in her eyes was visible, and she said slowly, "Although Concubine An often makes things difficult for concubines, but concubines can still deal with it, it is better to take this opportunity to let the ninth princess of Xiang Guifei marry in the past, the concubine has been bothering Niangniang for so many years, and it is time to help Niangniang do something." ”
Qin Yuan suddenly looked at Concubine Lian with bright eyes, and her tone became a little sharper, "Xiang Guifei has served the emperor for four years, and has been prosperous /// pet /// undecaying, although this palace does not know this person, but just because Xiang Guifei can survive in the days of accompanying the king like a tiger, she must be a smart person, you still don't want to provoke such a person, besides, this palace and Xiang Guifei have no grievances and no enmity, how can you help this palace?" ”
How do you know that Concubine Lian actually flashed a chuckle, "Now the old man in the palace doesn't know why she got her Xiang Guifei, and only the newcomer is envious without knowing the truth, don't worry, the slave knows what to do." ”
Qin Yuan's face was a little gloomy for a while, and she wanted to persuade a few more words, but she still didn't speak, she faintly felt that Concubine Lian was hiding something from her, forcing Qin Yuan to want to meet this Hunan concubine.
